    "content": "of Select Committees - and I am one of them - have kind of missed out on the oversight role, especially in the budget-making process. Select Committees are not quite involved in the budget- making process. Our Members are involved in the process because they are in more than one committee, but those of us who are chairpersons, literally you feel like there is something more you can do. I am asking that against that background, that matter be relooked at so that those chairpersons can also be allowed into departmental committees to play their oversight role. On top of that, I think it is also the time the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party addressed the issue that some Members are on one committee while others are on three committees. These irregularities need to be sorted out now. I do not think there would be any reason why we would want to move ahead with the excuses that we have had in the past. Hon. Speaker, I support with those few remarks."
